Lin Zhiyao, a modern criminal defense lawyer, once traveled through time and became Shen Zhiyao, a 16-year-old girl from the Great Yong Dynasty who had just been unjustly imprisoned and lost her father. In order to overturn the case for her father, she cut her hair and changed clothes, and inherited the lawsuit as "Shen Wenqing's son". The beginning is a hellish difficulty with a fifty-tael loan shark and the power of the enemy Wei State.
She solved strange cases with her modern legal thinking - uncovering the truth about the murder of a singer, unraveling the frame-up of official bank theft, and using the handwriting of an ancient painting appraiser to identify forgeries to resolve property disputes - and became famous, but she repeatedly ran into obstacles: clan etiquette and unspoken rules of officialdom made her modern knowledge ineffective, and she once made a mistake in judgment in the Huiming serial case and made a big detour.
The iron-faced censor Pei Yan went from contempt to curiosity, and he went from shock to heartache when he discovered that her daughter was behind her. Born into a prominent family, he was engaged in a marriage contract and struggled to fall in love with Shen Zhiyao amid the class gap. When the two men joined forces to overthrow the Duke of Wei, they discovered that this corrupt and powerful official came from a humble family and had devoted himself to serving the people. Good and evil in human nature are far from black and white.
Shen Zhiyao reflects on the true meaning of the rule of law in the "procedural justice" duel between lawyer Chen, and insists on changing the fate of women despite the difficulties of arson and gangsters disrupting the women's litigation office. In the end, she was awarded the title of "The First Female Litigator in Dayong" and joined hands with Pei Yan to allow women to stand up and speak for themselves in court.
Purpose: to use modern legal principles to uncover the feudal world, challenge the millennium principles with the weak shoulders of women, and seek a difficult but always upward path of "human awakening" in the gray area where good and evil are intertwined.
